This suggests that initial verification can be done through a provider of choice. However, every re-use of the token goes through k-ID at miniscule cost for the customer per check, supposedly made possible by volume. (There is no cost to the user.)

The initiative targets new youth protection rules emerging in Australia, Brazil and the EU.
